Yeah, just got in and I was astounded by how good it was, the direction wasn't mindblowingly complex, but very effective, and in my opinion the three main actors (Swank, Eastwood and Freeman) all put in very solid performances.
Also the blend of tense drama and light-hearted comedy was refreshing instead of having a film pile on all of one or all of the other... Haven't seen any of the other nominations, but I'd certainly say it's earned it's nomination, and I wouldn't say it didn't deserve Best Picture if it picks it up...
